It’s Not OK (Live At Ricoh Arena)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom Clarke] Stop living your life for the alarm That wakes you up every day at eight Leave your Peugeot on the forecourt It's all too much for you to take Your girlfriend don't love you but still she slaves To make a home for you to stay The people above you they keep you held down The boys, the boys you'd love to make (yeah) [Chorus] Leaning on your fence when you told me You were gonna make lots of money Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes Rolling out the carpet to regrets Now you're not so young it's too easy To be a dreamer, wake up and be free Your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me You only get one chance, can you hear me? [Break] It's not OK to be this way It's not OK to be a slave! [Verse 2] Stop living your life for a man in a tie He's just a fool the same as you His daughter don't love him but still he slaves To make a way for her to choose Her teenage dreams are here the night But in the morning they'll be gone Washed away by the minimum wage The same, the same as everyone [Chorus] (Yeah) Leaning on your fence when you told me You were gonna make lots of money Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes Rolling out the carpet to regrets Now you're not so young it's too easy To be a dreamer, wake up and be free Your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me You only get one chance, can you hear me? [Break] It's not OK to be this way It's not OK to be a slave! [Chorus] Leaning on your fence when you told me You were gonna make lots of money Be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes Rolling out the carpet to regrets Now you're not so young it's too easy To be a dreamer, wake up and be free Your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me You only get one chance, can you hear me? [Outro] It's not OK to be this way Not OK to be this way Not OK to be this way Not OK to be a slave To be a slave To be a slave
